Round 2

The second insemination is done! We decided to do 2 insemination per cycle to up our chances a bit and we did them approx. 12 hours apart. The second one felt more magical than the first, maybe it was the nerves of the first one and not having the experience, who knows. But we learned so much from the first one that we were able to apply to the second one. Again we layed in bed for 2 hours, flipping me over every 20 minutes or so. Quick Tip: Don't drink a bunch of water before you will be laying around for 2 hours! Oops!

I had read online about whether elevating your hips increases your chances or not, some say yes and some say no. J and I agreed that it couldn't hurt. We were going to try and shoot for 1 hour but when we got the insemination instructions from the sperm bank they recommend 2 hours with hips elevated and rotate from front to back every 20 minutes. Hey if they recommend it, we will do it!!

Between I1 and I2 we decided that we would create some new life on our patio...fitting right. So we went and bought some new flowers for all of our pots and baskets and planted them together. Then we had a nice dinner outside enjoying the sun and the flowers. Here are some pics of our work:
